Dear Upi,
GO stands for GeneOntology ( www.geneontology.org). One of their tree is
dedicated to cellular components, which is quite detailed ( although not
all of them are compartments in the traditional sense). Binding
compartments to GO terms would help us to integrate different models. It
is also a problem for us, who would like to provide SBML visualization
and layout service, but can't since we do not know which compartment in
the SMBL model maps to which of our visual regions ( a visual region in
our tool maps to a subtree of the GO cellular component tree).
Best,
Emek
